so he did something to the system and they fired him because they lost a fuckload of money by erasing that fee before they found out.

What’s reality? I don’t know. When my bird was looking at my computer monitor I thought, ‘That bird has no idea what he’s looking at.’ And yet what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can’t really panic, he just does the best he can. Is he able to live in a world where he’s so ignorant? Well, he doesn’t really have a choice. The bird is okay even though he doesn’t understand the world. You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.
TempleOS is ring-0-only. No system call overhead.
I am a professional operating system developer. In 1990, I was hired to work on Ticketmaster’s VAX operating system.
You know the secret, the difference between heaven and hell, is like, doing your work. You feel really shitty if you don’t do your work. If you do your work, it’s fucking awesome.
When I was a young programmer, all the code I looked at was awful. If there was a different format indentation, that distracted me. All I could think about was code format and superficials. I worked at Ticketamster 1990-1996.
I went back in 2003. I remembered my first assignment. In 1990, the Linker at Ticketmaster that Troy wrote ran out of room because the MAP file grew too big.
In 2003, I went back a found a terrible kludge that I did in 1990 because I was stupid. In 2003, I fixed it correctly. I looked at the code and thought how beautiful it was. In 1990, I thought the code was bad.
As you get more experience, it is a little easier to read code. Take my word that all code is bad, LOL.
Personally, I don’t like code that is made of 5-line functions with no rhyme nor reason spread seven levels deep.
Somebody said the smaller your functions the better. Bad advice.

2024-07-13 at 3:29 AM UTCI love birds. even crows and ravens even though they're kind of assholes.
birds bring joy if you take the time to just watch them.
the sun is setting now. I didn't hear any birds sing before the sun set. usually they fire off a few tunes before going to rest.
cept the owls that come out at night. rare but they don't hoot, they screech. I think they're burrow owls. -

2024-07-19 at 1:51 AM UTCThere's this homeless guy on my block that I think is mentally ill and sometimes gets confused and starts trying to hand out the change from his cup and give it to random people. Most just decline and keep walking but since making this thread i've ran into him 3 times now and each time he offers me a coin and I take it
They are all collected in a tray in my kitchen, $2.25 in total. If he gives me a quarter tomorrow i'll have enough to do a load of laundry -

You could setup automatic recurring withdrawals with him and save yourself some time and effort.. -

Then stick a barcode on him so you can scan him in passing and grab a quarter from him. -

Originally posted by Bradley dude you walk 1 mile and then eat a restaurant pizza, 64 ounces of cocacola and then walk a mile back to lose weight.
YOu are delusional.
I didn't drink half of that Coke and it was a 24oz. stop exaggerating. then I left about half of that pizza and it was just Cheeze. nothing else was on it. well maybe some pepperoni but I only ate half. and I walked about 2 miles and 2 miles back and the first 2 miles was all Up hill.
